You deserve some bonbons. You're the chief breadwinner right now, and are you getting your propers? And while I am on about propers, how is it that my only copy of R-E-S-P-E-C-T is on cassette? Which cassette I think you gave me?

I would be interested in an essay from you about what constitute the ins and outs of gift-giving, because as you know Bob, I have a fraught and fractious relationship with the concept myself. (Someday I will blurt to Mother, "I just don't $100 worth of love you right now.")
